Habibi Yah Habibi (Hebrew: חֲבִיבִי יָהּ חֲבִיבִי) is a well-known zemer of Asher Mizrahi, composed by Rahamim Omar.
The zemer has gained especial popularity among Mizrahi Jews, now traditionally sung at religious occasions. In particular, it is sung during three pilgrimage festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, Succot) due to the closing line "וְאָז יֵרָאֶה כָּל זְכוּרֶךָ שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בַּשָּׁנָה" ("Then all your males shall make pilgrimage three times each year"—a paraphrase of a biblical quotation).
